Which function has a vertex on the y-axis? f(x) = (x – 2)2 f(x) = x(x + 2) f(x) = (x – 2)(x + 2) f(x) = (x + 1)(x – 2)
strojnjashka [21]

we know that

If the vertex is on the y-axis, then the x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to zero

we are going to verify the vertex of each one of the functions to determine the solution

Remember that

The equation in vertex form of a vertical parabola is equal to

y=a(x-h)^{2} +k

where

(h,k) is the vertex

if a>0 -------> the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

if a -------> the parabola open downward (vertex is a maximun)

<u>case A)</u> f(x)=(x-2)^{2}

This is a vertical parabola open upward

the vertex is the point (2,0)

therefore

The function f(x)=(x-2)^{2}  does not have a vertex on the y-axis

<u>case B)</u> f(x)=x(x+2)

f(x)=x(x+2)=x^{2}+2x

convert to vertex form

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

f(x)+1=x^{2}+2x+1

Rewrite as perfect squares

f(x)+1=(x+1)^{2}

f(x)=(x+1)^{2}-1

the vertex is the point (-1,-1)

therefore

The function f(x)=x(x+2) does not have a vertex on the y-axis

<u>case C)</u> f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)

f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)=x^{2}-2^{2}

f(x)=x^{2}-4

the vertex is the point (0,-4)

The x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to zero

therefore

The function f(x)=(x-2)(x+2) has a vertex on the y-axis

<u>case D)</u> f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)

f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)\\ \\f(x)= x^{2}-2x+x-2 \\ \\f(x)= x^{2} -x-2

convert to vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

f(x)+2= x^{2} -x

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

f(x)+2+0.25= x^{2} -x+0.25

f(x)+2.25= x^{2} -x+0.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

f(x)+2.25= (x-0.50)^{2}

f(x)=(x-0.50)^{2}-2.25

the vertex is the point (0.5,-2.25)

therefore

The function f(x)=(x+1)(x-2) does not have a vertex on the y-axis

<u>the answer is</u>

f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)

Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer is option C.

<h3>-6, -5 2/5, -4 1/5</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence is given by

A(n) =  - 6 + (n - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

where n is the number of terms

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> first</u><u> </u><u>term</u>

n = 1

So we have

A(1) =  - 6 + (1 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6 + (0)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>fou</u><u>rth</u><u> term</u>

n = 4

A(4) =  - 6 + (4 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6 + (3)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 5 \frac{2}{5}

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>tenth</u><u> </u><u>term</u>

n = 10

A(10) =  - 6 + (10 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6 + (9)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 4 \frac{1}{5}

Hope this helps you
